MO Rep. Stacey Newman Proposes Bill to Restrict Vasectomies, here you can compare your thought process to that of Rush. I think he makes a good point ... the dems realize the abortion issue is no longer effective so they have to switch to something else ... contraception ... to make the republican candidates look like fools.
I’m glad to see a lot of women aren’t buying into this circus. $3000 for BC over 3 years?!! What the hell is she doing? Running around like a cat in heat? Every day? It makes not sense. But Rush is right, this a Leftist play for Obamacare and power and control.
Rush was right, and Republican candidates and leaders put on their idiot boots, and waded right into the trap. Republicans are going to have to learn how to define the subjects they debate. This nonsense is about two things. First it is about whether or not Congress has the right to dictate moral policy to churches and religious institutions. For years, the left has convoluted the so called, separation clause, into something unrecognizable from its original intent. It had nothing to do with limiting the influence of church or religion on government policy, but it did deny government the power to mandate a denomination of religion. The Founders were smart enough to understand that the offending party that needed to be limited was government, not religion. Liberals have turned it around ass backwards, saying government can dictate moral policy to religious institutions, but religious institutions can’t interfere with government by objecting to or resisting government mandates. This is a teaching opportunity for Republicans to demonstrate how the Constitution should be interpreted, and how it is capable of addressing a modern issue by applying the original principles of the Founders. Government is clearly overstepping its bounds.
The next issue is whether or not government has the right to tell taxpayers they must pay for the birth control of others, essentially subsidizing their sex. Government is taking powers not enumerated too far. As both a taxpayer and someone with a superior moral conscience compared to government, I don’t want to pay for birth control pills, morning after pills and abortions, so others can enjoy irresponsible sex, or even responsible sex. More than that, I don’t believe the government should have the right to force me to do so. Republican leaders should put take the debate where it belongs.
